In its Second Edition, this text addresses basic and applied physiological properties of skeletal muscle in the context of the physiological effects from clinical treatment. Many concepts are expanded and recent studies on human muscle have been added. This new edition also includes more clinically relevant cases and stories. A two-page full color insert of muscle sections is provided to ensure integral understanding of the concepts presented in the text. Anyone interested in human movement analysis and the understanding of generation and control from the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems in implementing movement will find this a valuable resource.

This is an excellent book for the physical therapist to use in understanding muscle function. It is clearly written and utilizes evidence throughout to make the points. Wonderful clinical insight is scattered throughout the text. I recommend this text to all of my PT students.

Frank Lieber with his profound knowlege of the skeleton muscle could go a little more deep in subjects like structure and function of sarcoplasmatic reticulum its proteins CA2+ gates and close relation with T tubules. In the same way a better explanation and interaction of fiber cytoskeleton in the fiber would be appreciated. Pedro.
